'Mortal Kombat' to use online multiplayer pass

A message from Warner Bros Interactive to retailers has revealed that Mortal Kombat will use an online pass to access its multiplayer modes.

According to the retailer message, each copy of Mortal Kombat will include a one-time use code that, when redeemed, grants access to the game's suite of multiplayer modes.

Players who buy a pre-owned copy of the game will get two days of trial access to the online modes, after which a pass would need to be purchased to continue playing online. Online passes will cost 800 MS points (£6.80 / $10) on Xbox 360 and £6.80 / $9.99 on PS3.
